“Carolyn was fantastic! She loved on my dog so well and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Carolyn's care. She was prompt with the timing of her visit and was quick with her communication. She played with Jeans the whole weekend. And to top it off, we came home to a clean house and even clean sheets! I will definitely book with Carolyn again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
About: I grew up with parents as dog breeders. At a young age, I learned how to take care of animals. I have lots of experience with taking care of animals. I am currently a graduate student. I will be at school during the day but have breaks to care for animals. I am free in the evenings and weekends. I will come to your house and care for your animals. When they are outside, I will make sure to keep an eye on them or have them on a lease if needed.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighborhood families since I was 10. I have walked dogs, fed and gave medication, spent time playing, and sometimes did grooming. I’m currently an enrolled as a full time college student but I will always make time for all the pups that are in my care! I’m very good at following the directions of the owners so that their pet is always safe and comfortable. I would never do something for the pet without permission of the owners. I am good with open communication with owners.
About: I grew up being around dogs my whole life. We typically had at least 2 and they have always been treated as family members. I lived with a cat in college and brought my own baby home shortly after. We have two cats at home, and I would love to spend even more time with animals!! I work full time and live in the same city. Depending on the weekend, I don’t typically have a lot going on and would love to be around animals more. I am pretty active so I would gladly take walks! We have two cats that are strictly indoor. They basically have free rein of the house. I understand that pets can be reserved around unknown people, so I am willing to build that trust and just hang out if needed.
“Nicole was an absolute joy to work with! I had to book last minute and she was the best! Super communicative, lots of cute pics, my pets were happy and healthy when I got home. Big fan- would absolutely recommend!”
“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”
About: 20+ years of experience (that makes me feel old). Unofficial dog sitter for family and friends since high school. Loyal to my fellow dog loving friends sharing word of mouth recommendations, fostered a giant breed and helped find his forever home, loved my first dog for nearly 8 years, and now I would like to fill the void by helping care for your four legged family member. I have experience caring for senior dogs and puppies as well. I work fully remote, so I appreciate the screen breaks. I am able to go out for walks or outdoor time often. After losing my dog this summer, I do miss the quality time and walk routines. We joke that you better love dogs, but it is true. My home is setup to be dog friendly, maybe more rugs for traction on the vinyl plank floors. Animals are part of the family and that is how we treat guest pets as well. Living on 3 acres in the country, so a great space for outdoor activities. I am quite respectful when residing in another’s home and great at following instructions and/or preferred routines.
“Kari (and Maggie) are WONDERFUL, we felt so comfortable with having them watch our 2 pups at our house. She sent lots of photos and updates which helped us be able to enjoy our trip even more without worrying about them. Already planning the next time!”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing extra care for puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable with all dogs. What sets me apart is how much I truly care about each pet’s comfort and routine. With 8 years of experience, I’m confident handling different personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs needing extra patience and attention I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have a big yard and always supervise outdoor time. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I can crate if needed and make sure every pet gets attention, exercise, and a stress-free experience.
“Ciboney watched our pup Reese for 8 days. She did an amazing job! Reese is very cautious and shy around people that she doesn't know but she warmed right up to Ciboney! The communication from Ciboney was also wonderful as she sent messages and pictures multiple times per day. Ciboney noticed immediately a possible health issue for Reese, alerted us and took her to the vet in our place. Reese needed meds daily after the Vet visit and Ciboney had no problem administering them. We came home to a happy puppy. 100% we would use Ciboney's services again!!”
“Vikki was a wonderful home and pet sitter, and great communicator. She took excellent care of our dogs, cat, and chickens for a long weekend. She left our home better than she found it, and was accommodating with scheduling to make sure we made it home with no delays. We hope to welcome her back, and highly recommend her!!”
About: Growing up with multiple dogs in the home, I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, dog dynamics, sizes, behavioral needs, and medical cases. I have been trusted by my neighbors and friends to care for their furry family members for over 10 years now, with 2 years of experience in a dog daycare setting. I will take care of your pups like they are my family. I work full time at the Animal Humane Society, with most afternoons and weekends off, and a lunch break that can be used to check in on your furry family. I have a car, and am also equipped with the basic care needs, aside from a crate. I clean up after any messes and make sure your family has everything needed before leaving.
“Cari was a fabulous pet sitter. She communicated well and we were very happy with the care she provided our goldendoodle. Definitely will book with her again and recommend others to.”
“Scott was just awesome. The dogs were very receptive to him. He sent numerous pictures. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. My wife and I don't go on vacation very much because of our furry friends, but we may start to go more often now.”
About: I love caring for dogs. Whether is daily walks, fetch in our fenced in yard, or just snuggles and belly rubs, I will give your dog just what it needs while you are away. Your dog will get lots of playtime and attention. I work from home. I can also care for smaller animals such as bunnies or hamsters. I work from home full time during the week. I am able to give your dog the attention it needs while you are away. Your dog will have my Westie as company and a playmate. My Westie is very calm and enjoys visitors. I have a fenced in yard with lots of play space. My dog will keep your dog company. My dog is very friendly. I can crate your dog if needed. I can do daily walks. Able to feed your dog on a schedule it needs and give treats when needed.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Roberts walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Roberts maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Roberts choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
